#910. I want to come back safely
* * *
After the meteor shower 33 years ago.
From abandoned ruins to abandoned basements.
There are countless places around the world that are shrouded in a curtain of light.
Those who passed through that veil were able to acquire skills by catching monsters in a completely new space and contracting with the constellation.
In addition, he gained enormous wealth by distributing the mysterious treasures and ore resources obtained in that space.
That’s a dungeon.
It was an infinite treasure trove that opened the Iron Age.
That’s why the number of dungeons in the present era was equal to national power.
As the monsters that appear in each dungeon and the resources that can be obtained are different, the more diverse the dungeon, the more players can be fostered.
So, when a new dungeon was discovered in a place with ambiguous borders, there was even a war over ownership.
in that sense.
Leonidas Dungeon was a blessed place.
A dungeon created from the tomb of King Leonidas, a hero of Sparta who was active in the Silver Age.
As the place was in the middle of the city, of course, no other city-state could deny the ownership of Sparta.
It was easy for players to nurture as it was close enough to be able to walk lightly like taking a walk.
That’s how many players gather, the price of nearby real estate rises, and the commercial district revives.
Excluding dungeon by-products, the additional influence alone gave Sparta great wealth.
The citizens of Sparta regarded the dungeon as a blessing from King Leonidas, and it was always overflowing with crowds.
Players lined up in front of the dungeon.
Vendors selling food nearby.
A couple on a date on a walk.
Even tourists taking pictures.
The sight of countless people crowding around the tomb covered with a curtain of light is simply overwhelming.
Indeed, it looked like a dungeon that became Sparta’s number one tourist destination and a key commercial district.
So it was.
The reason why they didn’t realize a certain scent secretly spreading among the crowded crowd.
Mixed in with many food smells.
Or between people’s body odor.
The scent that spread secretly permeated the crowd.
little by little.
But more clearly.
“Haam, why are you sleepy?”
“I’m going to enter the dungeon from now on, what nonsense…?”
dump.
“…Yes?”
And by the time they realized something, it was already too late.
passersby.
merchants.
fall one by one
I sat down and started to doze off.
Rather than being surprised or wary, even the players who were staring blankly at the scene as if they were drunk lay down.
Even the high-level players who had endured were hit by a spit that flew from somewhere and then rolled their eyes and collapsed.
As if the bustle from earlier was a lie, the green-haired twins with the same face appeared in the quiet space.
After confirming that suppression is over.
Arbella and Barbara nodded at each other and opened their mouths.
“Let’s get rid of the solitary dream.”
“Dissolve the detoxifying incense right away.”
The armed forces of the Green Dragon Clan, which followed the twins, moved quickly.
In order to secretly spread the poison, he released the camp and instead used the antidote incense to erase the poisonous air that was full of everywhere.
So after a while.
It was only after all the miasma had been lifted that various human figures were revealed.
A knight in full armor.
A fighter in military uniform.
A monk dressed in skimpy attire.
A warrior wearing a fur coat and a bow.
A black warrior wearing a white mask.
A musketeer armed with a gun in a cowboy costume.
Even the pharmacists in thin clothes who were organizing the surroundings.
Among the masters of the seven clans, the most elite appeared in the middle of Sparta.
And at the forefront, of course, there were princesses representing each clan.
“How is the situation?”
“There is no one left within a radius of at least 300 meters, either inside or outside the building.”
“The jamming is over. We also hacked other surveillance systems around.”
“How is the lockdown?”
“All roads were blocked as planned. The players who entered were also safely subdued.”
“All according to plan. No problem.”
Rose, who was in command of the clan that traversed the space and rummaged through the buildings.
Yekathrice, who was engaged in electronic warfare while singing humming songs with the clan who took out electronic equipment.
Hasneti, who was preparing a reserve force to go out in case of a battle during the suppression.
Li Qingyu controls the situation as a whole by commanding the warriors and blocking all entry and exit routes.
Even Ainsha, who is wary of the clan and surroundings in preparation for any unexpected variables.
The masters of the Seven Dragons, including the five princesses, quickly sorted out the situation.
when some time has passed.
No more civilians fell there.
Instead, hundreds of masters were gathered ready to enter the dungeon.
“Hmm, to be honest, that’s a bit unexpected.”
After everything was sorted out, the white-haired man slowly showed up.
Li Qingyu asked Li Mon calmly.
“Are you saying the raid went better than expected?”
“okay. I thought they would have put at least a watcher or watchman around the entrance.”
“I am also surprised. I didn’t know that the remnants of the World Federation would be so defenseless.”
In case things go wrong, I’ve made double and triple measures and prepared various preparations.
Watching Li Qingyu, whose preparations were all useless thanks to the excessively easy suppression, let out a light sigh.
Ainsha muttered expressionlessly.
“…I’ve been thorough until here, and I’m complaining that I couldn’t prepare. Even the devil cries. It is also like Li Qingyu.”
“Huh, I understand. Isn’t it fun when things get a little twisty?”
“That’s only Yekatrice. It’s safe and comfortable, the best of all things.”
“Anyway, you don’t know how to have fun either.”
Indeed, Yekatriche giggled at Ainsha’s words like a white dragon princess.
Rose said calmly.
“It may mean that the world federation situation is just as bad.”
“They are already defeated and on the run. It won’t be easy just managing the troops.”
Since the World Federation has collapsed.
It is the position of the remnants that they have to continue their escape without a promise in darkness and danger, struggling with insufficient supplies without any hope of victory.
No matter how many of them are high-level players…
No, rather, they are high-level players, so it was enough to drain their morale.
Because they have always gained wealth and glory and enjoyed luxury, the current situation will feel all the more miserable.
It would be difficult even for the Holy Lord and the Creator Lord to thoroughly manage the surroundings while managing them so that they do not run away.
To Hasneti’s opinion in a muffled voice.
Li Qingyu put on an ambiguous expression.
“…Certainly I may have overestimated them too.”
“As a book publisher, it’s natural.”
“I agree.”
Rather than underestimating the enemy and being careless, it is better to be overly vigilant and prepared even if you waste preparations.
Amid the evaluation of other princesses.
Limon quietly opened his mouth.
“Anyway, I don’t think we need to worry about the empty seats for the doctor and the boss.”
“I know. I can see Charlotte breaking down.”
Catherine giggled.
Charlotte withdrew from this plan as the internal wounds caused by the fight in the Indian Territory were deep.
And Maia, who remains in Quetzalcoatl to treat Charlotte and manage her post-mortem condition.
Even if they sent their entourage and the Seven Dragons instead, their vacancy was not small.
Especially in a fight with an absolute.
Nevertheless, the reason why the princesses here do not feel the slightest sense of anxiety was not only because the response of the World Federation was weaker than expected.
It was because I was prepared to fill that vacancy and be prepared for others.
“Bring Nagyeong-ah.”
[Yes.]
Parzing!
[Yap, the bluebird special delivery has arrived!]
The salt waves are ringing.
Right after space is distorted.
What jumped out was a blue bird.
It is small and cute enough for children to pluck out all the feathers while playing with it.
However, in reality, it is an unprecedented elemental beast with enormous power that can be ranked at the top of the absolute class.
If she used fetishes generously, her power would be enough to replace the empty seat of the princess.
One thing is more important than anything else.
It was that she hadn’t come alone.
“It’s repair.”
quick quick.
“…Repair?”
It was transported into space with a blue bird riding on its sleek abdomen.
Limon sighed after calling the Indian girl who was still sleeping soundly without knowing the world a few times.
and go to her
Bend your back tight….
Slap!
“Kyaung!”
No matter how deeply I slept, I couldn’t stand the night.
The running repairman, who rolled over with his forehead wrapped around him, jumped up from his seat and looked at Limon with a disgruntled look on his face.
“Appeal or pain.”
“I told you not to sleep as soon as I ate, so what if I can’t stand it and doze off again?”
“dissatisfaction. That’s why it’s too much to wake him up.”
“But if you wake me up with a kiss, you’ll fall asleep without even trying.”
“…No, I have no intention of doing so.”
For some reason.
Limon let out a sigh when he saw the disciple who was belatedly slaughtering him with a face that seemed to have realized ‘That’s the way it is!’
And while the other princesses are watching them with strangely lukewarm eyes.
Limon pointed straight ahead.
“Stop talking in your sleep and check that out.”
“…?”
“How many times have you explained it before you came here?”
“understanding. OK.”
Only then did he seem to remember what that confirmation was.
The running eagle yawned as if it still had some energy to sleep, but moved at a leisurely pace.
the center of this vast space.
To the vast expanse of light that surrounds the old tomb.
So the moment she put her hand on the vastness while receiving everyone’s tense gaze.
Seruk.
so naturally.
Li Qingyu nodded, looking at the girl’s small hand that penetrated the curtain of light.
“As expected, Sword Spirit-nim can enter the dungeon.”
“Yes, Princess, it seems I’m the only one who can’t get in as expected.”
Even though they are the same sword master, why can’t they enter alone?
Limon wasn’t particularly offended.
One important thing now.
Just as the sword king Richard, who was first revived by Wanderer, was free to move in the dungeon, repairs that run can also enter the dungeon.
So it was just that I could help in this fight.
“Suri, can I ask you a favor?”
“…Sincerity. bother.”
Of course, being able to do it and doing it are two different things.
I want to take a nap, but why do I have to do such troublesome things?
Suri, running as if he really didn’t know why, yawned lazily and muttered,
“answer. Still, if it’s something a male teacher wants, he’ll do his best.”
“Yes, thank you.”
Limon smiled like that and stroked her hair.
As if the running repairman was finally satisfied, he rubbed the back of his neck with his hand and smiled happily.
While the eyes of the other princesses who were watching it cooled even more, the preparations were progressing step by step.
“Then let’s all go home safely.”
“Your swordsman.”
“Please take good care of the outside.”
“In case of emergency, we run away. So don’t worry.”
“Hey Ainsha. At times like this, you should ask your brother to come and rescue you in case of danger.”
five princesses.
A versatile blue bird.
Even the Sword Master.
Hundreds of masters, including seven absolutes, passed through the dungeon gate one after another while being escorted by Limon. To put an end to a long fight that began
before the beginning of the Iron Age…
no, even before human civilization began.
